Feeling happy, healthy and supported is vital to getting the most out of your time at Strathmore Secondary College.
Below is a range of information that can help you find the support you need. If you can't find what you're after, contact us or your team coordinator for help.
Your team coordinator should be who you see first with any wellbeing concerns you have. They are trained to be your initial contact point and assist you with next steps to getting any help you need. This may involve a referral to the school's Wellbeing team.
Students can also directly access the Wellbeing team at any time. They are located in rooms S1 and the Library. Appointments can be made by visiting one of the offices, or through your team coordinators. If you prefer to contact a Wellbeing team member via email, please do so through Compass.
Please note that all engagement with and from the Wellbeing team is required to be in alignment with the school's Wellbeing and Child Safe Environment policies. The Wellbeing team are happy to help you with understanding how this impacts confidentiality.
